Sons and Daughters, too much work causes Suffering. To avoid this, you must follow The Middle Path. This means that you shound not sit at a clear desk with nothing to do. Your superiors will notice this and give you more work. A valuable technique is to scatter a lot of loose papers on your desk while simultaneously surfing The Internet. Perhaps becoming a member of a message board will help? That way you can type fun things to your online friends, and because you are typing with a lot of scattered papers about, everyone will think you are working. This is a difficult technique to master, but remember : it takes many small victories to reach the State of Nirvana.

Peace.

Can you think of any more "dilbert-meets-buddha" advice for the unenlightened youth of the 21st Century? C'mon I'd like to see if we can wring a book out of this site. I had a few more pearls of wisdom, but then I had to do some actual office work, which dried up all my inspiration. help me out here...
